Input/Output is a collection of observations using found and recovered images, textures and typography, alongside graphic elements and symbols. Commenting on the mundane and profound in equal measure and seeking to fuse binary and non binary visual elements together to create newness from the missed, unobserved and dirt between the cracks.
A marriage of filth, dirt and grime produced by Dave Eccles, graphic designer, grunge artist and educator.
Opening Friday 11th April 5 - 9pm, all welcome.
Lustratio is an experimental collaborative body of work produced in residence at General Practice Studios in response to Lustratio (2024). This exhibition sees the film’s original collaborators come together once more to expand upon the film’s themes of (re)birth, magick, sex, nature, purification, femininity, and ritual.
Prints, props, paintings, and an olfactory environment have been produced and curated to respond to the space and the conversations that have arisen in lieu of filming.
Â
Stemming from research into symbols of sex and fertility, the original concept behind the film centred it contextually around the life of nomadic women in 20,000 BCE, animal paintings in sites such as Lascaux and Chauvet, and life in the ice age. The show features new and existing work by Lucy Haworth, Luna Ælflæd Shinkins, Will René Thomson, and Amy Wood.

We are thrilled to support 3rd-year BA Fine Art students from the University of Lincoln as they transform the space into an extension of their studio practice. Don’t miss this immersive and intimate experience.
Opening night: Friday 7th March 5-8pm
Open by appointment 8th - 9th March - get in touch to book a viewing.
Scarborough Macabre is an off-season sojourn to the seaside, in which artist Melody Phelan- Clark regurgitates the strange and sinister nature of the British coast, once the summer season has passed.
Bustling beaches are replaced with empty arcades and ghostly shores, as attractions are shuttered and the seaside enters a state of sleep.
In Scarborough Macabre, Phelan Clark reminisces on half term family holidays to Scarborough, North Yorkshire, and returns to the town as an adult. This work also feeds from the sea -based scares of horror fiction, namely M.R James' Oh, Whistle And I'll Come To You, My Lad, and the work of Scarbrough - born Susan Hill, who says of the location:
'I am in the now and then simultaneously, transfixed again by the gliding snake cables of the cliff tram. Time means nothing. Scarborough is out of time. It means everything.'Â
The opening event is Friday 7th February from 6 - 8pm, refreshments are provided and all are welcome.
The exhibition is also open Saturday 8th February, Wednesday 12th February, and Sunday 16th February, from 11am - 4pm on all days.
